K-State is next challenge
By GINO STRIPPOLI Sports Writer
The Kansas Jayhawks, playing only their fourth game of the conference season, are facing a must-win situation when they take on the Kansas State Wildcats tomorrow night at Aebear Field House in Manhattan.
"We just have to keep trying to become the best team we can," head coach Ted Owens said. "We just can't get discouraged."
The Jayhawks have faced the top three teams in the conference in Missouri, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State and have come away from those games with an 0-3 record. Unfortunately, they must go on the road against their cross-state rivals, the Wildcats, in the 199th meeting of the two teams.
THE JAYHAWKS have their backs to the wall for the home court advantage in the Big Eight post-season tournament. At 6-3, the Jayhawks stand last in the Big Eight, the only team that hasn't won a conference game.
sunference schedule, but I've been impressed with the personnel they have," K-State head coach Jack Hartman said. "I like their team and they'll put it together. I just hope it isn't until after Saturday."
Hartman's Wildcats are coming off a 59-43 loss at the hands of the Nebraska Cornhuskers, in which not one Wildcat player scored in double figures. The Nebraska Wildcats strew a streak by the Wildcats, who now are 24 in the conference and 10-6 overall.
SENIOR Les Craft, one of only two seniors on the freshman. Iden squad, leads the Wildcats. Craft, who averages 11.5 points a game, scored nine points and grabbed four rebounds in K-State's loss to the Cormorants. The team's defensive card, is the only other K-State player in double figures, averaging 10.3 points a game.
"I think we'll rebound from our loss to Nebraska," Hartman said. "I stings them and they come back, and I think they'll be ready to play Kansas."
The Jayhawks will counter the Wildcats with a youthful lineup of their own. Three freshmen started the Missouri game and all are expected to
start against the Wildcats. Freshman Kerry Boagni, who started his first game in three outings for Kansas, led the 'Hawks with 17 points. Carl Henry, the most consistent player in conference play for Kansas, had 16 points.
"Kansas State is a young team like us," senior co-captain Jeff Dishman said. "We just have to grow from our mistakes and play as well as we can." Probable Starters KANSAS

Comets blaze by Stallions
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Yilmaz Orhan scored three times and Greg Makowski collected four assists as the Kansas City Comets defeated the Buffalo in a Major Indoor Soccer League game last night in Kemper Arena.
Orhan, who has 19 goals in his last 9 games and 26 for the season, scored twice in the first half — both times off assists from Makowski. Stuart Lee and Elson Keasle also scored in the first half, giving Kansas City a 4-0 half-time lead.
The Stallions outscored the Comets 4-2 in the third quarter to pull within
The Comets answered two of the third quarter Buffalo goals with scores from 2016.
Seale scored for the second time 3:09 into the final period and Zoran Savic, last week's MISL player of the week, another Comet goal two minutes later.

The victory gives the Comets an 11-10 record. The Stallions are 12-9.

But the majority of the basketball games played at the University of Kansas don't take place under the bright lights or in front of the big field. Allen Field House. Hundreds of students and faculty play for fun every week.
Recreational basketball has become a part of college life for many students. Their daily routine includes an hour or two at Robinson gymnasium to shoot free throws up in the gymnasium night of the week and there will be someone playing.
Kansas basketball has as much tradition as any school in the country. The Jayhawks have had their share of AllAmericans and memorable performers.
"The best games are at Robinson," said Steve Akins, Lawrence junior. "I enjoy the competition, especially when the games are good."
THE BASKETBALL gyms at Robinson are open Monday thru Friday from 5 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. On Saturday they are open from 8 a.m. until 10:30 p.m. and Sunday, they are open from 1 p.m. until 10:30 p.m.
If you want a chance to play on the hardwood at Allen, it is open every evening Monday through Friday from 7 until 10 when there are no activities scheduled. For a schedule of the available courts for the day, call the Recreation Services information line at 864-3456.
Many of the people who play at Robinson take part in the intramural leagues sponsored by Recreation Services. There are three leagues available, ranging form trophy league to Recreation B league. The three teams compete with people who wants to play a chance to compete with people of their own ability.
THE INTRAMURAL leagues at KU are not the only leagues in town. Akins has played in the Lawrence city league
AKIN'S, WHO plays four to five times a week during school, has learned to fit basketball into his schedule, which includes school, includes a part-time job.
"The main thing is that it refreshes me," Akina said. "I enjoy basketball because it's good exercise. You have to be healthy, you need good for the cardiovascular system."
Both Fleming and Akins have played year round for the last several years. They have taken advantage of the many basketball nuts in the area to keep the competitive edge in the summer. Fleming plays in the Johnson County summer league while Akins finds games in Lawrence.
"I wear two pairs of socks and high-top basketball shoes." Fleming said. "I wasn't wearing high-tops when I was growing up, but probably the reason that it was so bad."
No matter what time of the year it is, a basketball game shouldn't be hard to find. The big problem at this time of the year, in fact, is getting an open court to play on. Sometimes you might have to wait for up to an hour to get on the floor at Robinson during the busier times of the day.
for the past three years.
The Community Building, 115 W. 11 St., is open for play from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. on Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons, the hours are 1 to 3:30.
we play at the Community Building at night," Akins said. "There are some good teams. I think there are 78 teams in the city league this year."
"Basketball has always been my favorite sport." Bob Fleming, Louisburg senior said. "I really enjoy exercise and basketball has become my hobby. Like they say, 'Do what you do best.'"
Fleming explained that he has had problems with his ankles in the past. He said that last year he was on crutches and weeks after turning his ankle badly.
Goodbye and Good Luck Alice We'll miss you
KU coach Marian Washington said that since that loss, Jayhawks have seemingly regrouped, and are playing much better as a team.
After spending the past three weeks of the season on the road, the Kansas women's basketball team returns to the hardwood at Allen tomorow to host the 12th-ranked Missouri Tigers.

Women return home, take on No.12 Mizzou
Sports Writer
After an undefeated fall season, the KU men's team teams open its spring schedule to tomorrow when players travel to Edwardsville, FL. to face Southern Illinois-Edwardsville and Purdue's teams.
In Wednesday's game against rival and 10th rated Kansas State, KU came up on the short end of aug-战, 80-74.
Kansas, 4-12 for the season so far (2-2 at home) has won only one of the four games since the Mizzou contest, but has played tough on the road.
Kansas, which plays eight of its next nine games at home, will be seeking to avenge a 69-12 loss at the Tigers in Columbia two weeks ago.

"If we play our game as we played Wednesday, we should be a heck a ball club out there," Washington said.
"We've got our bands full," KU coach Scott Perelman said. "Edwardsville is in the top 10 and Purdue is strong from top to bottom."
Perelman, who is in his first year as the coach for the Jayhawks, has put the squad through a rigorous winter training period that included running and weight lifting.
"They're more confident in themselves," she said. "We're now four

"Without a doubt, the players are probably in the best shape of their tennis careers." Perelman said. Sloane was the only one to play Alexander. He played No. 2 in the fall season, but beat out Brett Blair, who will now be the No. 2 player, to take
"We're playing much better doubles than at any time in the fall," Perelman said. "We've settled on three teams and we have been dropping any time during the season."
"We've come a long way towards maturing and coming together as a family." Perelman said. "In my eyes, the four teams that will challenge for the conference title are KU, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Nebraska."
